RAG Day :)

hmm. my title code is set on perpetual small letters and i have no idea how to change it :\

Really Anything Goes!
RAG day today and I was in the Claymation class!
Claymation is when you take stills of some random plasticine thing and "animate" it by adjusting the thing a little and taking a photo over and over again.
then you put it in some moviemaking software and there you have it :  
Claymation!




that up there is a very very awesome example.
this dude has his videos at 24 frames per second. 
very awesome right?

Kimberley and Juanita were in the same group as me :)
I made a dude named Joe who was this colour with a red heart and a green mohawk.
he is walking down a road and finds a hole.
he looks into the hole and falls in.
he lands in prehistoric times, and has a wardrobe change. 
Joe now has dread lock-ish brown hair and a loin cloth/thong.
he gets up and squats next to a fire.
a giant dinosaur foot comes up and squashes him.
the dino lifts his foot up and you can see poor smushed Joe at the bottom of his foot.
the end. 

there were about 200 stills in our claymation thing.
Joe used to be so pretty. 
now he's just a pancake in some trash bag.
the dinosaur foot took 2 boxes of green plasticine. 
yes, major wastage.

Claymation is very very very fun and really straightforward!
everyone should try it least once in their lifetimes :)
pictures soon!

Frisbee practice was hellish today.
we did the diamond drill for what seemed like a very very long time.
and the sun was extra scorch-y for some reason.
still very fun.
